2015 Map of West Prospect Peak

About this map

Lassen Volcanic National Park dominates the southern half of this landscape, where volcanic peaks and high-altitude lakes define the terrain. The transition between the park and the Lassen National Forest to the north is marked by several notable summits, including West Prospect Peak and Raker Peak. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the central corridor, passing near Badger Flat and providing a high-elevation route through this geological complex. Evidence of the region's hydrography is found in the drainage patterns of Hat Creek and its various forks, which collect water from basins like Hat Lake and the Cluster Lakes. Historic travel through this wilderness is suggested by Emigrant Pass and Survivors Hill, while unique landmarks such as Hot Rock and Crescent Crater reflect the active volcanic history of the Shasta County highlands.
